Class Specifications

Each has an average crew of 350 and is approximately 450 meters long. Their shuttlebays are reminiscent of the old Constitution-class' shuttlebays, having a more rounded opening door. They also feature a longer "runway" for shuttles as they enter and exit the ship.

Class History

The Luna-class starship was initially conceived for scientific exploration of the Gamma Quadrant following the discovery of the Bajoran wormhole. The project was sidelined by the impending threat from the Dominion, then restarted following the end of the Dominion War.

All Luna-class starships are named after moons. The initial production lot is named after moons in the Sol system.
